MOROCCO:
Mint tea is more than the national drink in Morocco. It's the very lifeblood of this North African country, an elixir served to guests and family, in restaurants and private homes, at the beginning of a business negotiation or at the end of a meal. It contains only three ingredients, but is preparation has the solemnity of a religious rite. For best results, use a heavy teapot, preferably metal.
Traditionally, Moroccan mint tea is served in small, hand-painted glasses with gold rims. Serve as a prelude or conclusion to Moroccan grilled fare.
